No police officer has yet been charged with any offense. Instead, the 270 miners arrested have been charged with the murder of their comrades. I guess you need to be South African to understand that logic !

The rights (if any can be found…), wrongs and actual circumstances of the killings may never be known, but the use of the ‘common purpose’ law (hated from its use in the days of apartheid) can surely do nothing but harm in this volatile situation.

Hmmm… Having googled common purpose I understand… I guess the ‘international community’ is now entitled to step in, provide rocket launchers and heavy machine guns to the freedom fighters, declare a no-fly zone, and demand the government step down?
